Deadline: 23-Jul-21
Applications are now open for the Unity Foundation Community Fund that was established to be responsive to local needs. This fund is permanent and only the earnings are spent each year. Because the fund is permanently endowed, these grants will be available to sustain the local efforts for generations to come.
What type of projects are funded?
The Grant Making Committee encourages submission of innovative projects. The Committee appreciates the opportunity to consider new concepts that will further enhance the quality of life and strengthen the county. Further considerations include:
- Issues not adequately being serviced by existing community resources;
- One-time projects or needs with a specific measurable outcome and audience;
- Projects that provide leverage for generating other funds and community resources;
- Projects that facilitate cooperation and collaboration between organizations and the communities within La Porte County
Funding Information
- Requests should be at least $500 and no more than $3,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Generally, only charitable organizations with verifiable 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and operating or offering programs in La Porte County, Indiana, will be considered. Start-up or ad hoc organizations may not yet have obtained 501(c)(3) status. If that is the case, they suggest you find an organization to “host” the project or program and have them request funds with you.
- Churches may request funds for non-sectarian purposes only, such as community programs/projects.
- Governmental bodies, such as townships and fire districts, as well as educational institutions, are also eligible; however, please note the additional restrictions for those organizations under General Grant Making Policies.
